Pisanello's bronze medal, "Don Iñigo d'Avalos, d. 1484, Grand Chamberlain of Naples 1449," depicts a profile portrait of Don Iñigo d'Avalos, a prominent figure in 15th-century Naples. The medal, created around 1449-1450, showcases Pisanello's mastery of Renaissance portraiture. D'Avalos is portrayed with a dignified expression, his features rendered with meticulous detail. The inscription surrounding the portrait, "DON INIGO DE DAVALOS," identifies the subject and reinforces the medal's commemorative function. This work is a prime example of Pisanello's medallic art, renowned for its realistic representation and elegant design.
